Wondering if people could post their experiences.
How long does it take about to make all the cards in anki for all lectures for 1 exam? Let's say 17 lectures. I have tried it and it is so time consuming. Also, how long did it take to make 1 pass over 17 lectures.2nd year I switched over to taking all my notes in anki and staying up to date on the reviews, then again 2-3 days out from the exam I would start focusing on that class. When I switched to anki, I would read through the power points and then 'cram mode' the cards I made for that lecture as well as just doing cram mode for the entire deck
I started actually going to the majority of the lectures 2nd year and would make the cards while listening, usually would get done with all my cards for that lecture. Then I would go through those cards, stay up to date on the reviews, etc.How long does it take about to make all the cards in anki for all lectures for 1 exam? Let's say 17 lectures.

Do you make image occlusions or your own notes mostly?
Thanks
I’ve heard sketchy is very good (never used it before, thinking about starting it). What courses did you find using sketchy the most helpful for (if you used it)?
I have also done image occlusions and such, but often I realized that I tend to memorize the actual picture and slide. Once I see certain slide or picture for 3rd-5th time, I just know where all answers go by memory, but I think it is not perfect way since on exam mostly it is worded question where you actually need to know the actual answer.I started actually going to the majority of the lectures 2nd year and would make the cards while listening, usually would get done with all my cards for that lecture.

I would estimate my average cards per lecture were ~100 (some more, some less depending on the topic), but they were all either cloze deletions or image occlusions so there were multiple "cards" per actual card. According to the statistics in anki, I would normally average ~10 cards/minute when studying so once I was comfortable with the material reviewing did not take that long.
Sketchy micro was a good source for boards and I highly recommend it for part 1 prep. Pharm and path were too long and convoluted for me to get into.I’ve heard sketchy is very good (never used it before, thinking about starting it).
